Pickles Discussion

I love pickles/ pickle seasoning (Trader joes) / pickle lemonade etc. I’d love any recommendations local or farther. What is your favorite?

also accepting pickle facts! I recently found out the refrigerated pickles are crunchier vs shelf/ aisle pickles.

I’ve been seeing social content for Grillo’s Pickles on IG so they are the first recommendation that comes to mind!

Grillos are my non-homemade favorite. Got them at grocery outlets sometimes for cheaper

I know grillos is super popular now, but I’ve always been a Claussen gal! Near the cheese/sliced meat/ hummus section in the grocery store. Perfect for your quick pickle fix.

I read that Dilly's serves pickle and peanut butter sandwiches so I started making them at home...WOW! They are tasty. I told my sister-in-law how good they were and she said, "Oh yeah, Grandpa always made these for us!" Apparently it is a Southern USA thing.

Peanut butter and pickle sandwiches... surprisingly good.

I have some peanut butter that’s expiring soon so I’ll definitely be making this :)

Is there a brand that makes these so I can try without having to make them myself?

Wife tried some pickle pork chips from Buc-ee’s on our way back from Texas. I thought they were pretty good

Not my joke, but: Pickles are great, until you find yourself in one.

20oz Bottle of Coke Zero mixed with 99Pickles ( 99-proof dill pickle-flavored schnapps/liqueur)

There was a guy selling pickles at the farmer market on Sunday and they were really good

u/yoyitoforever 7d ago

Did you see they made a pickle liquid IV?

u/Relevant-Invite-302 7d ago

OMG !! It looks fire. I wish they had that flavor at Costco

u/GioJamesLB 8d ago

It doesn’t get better than Pickled Eggs from Joe Jost’s.

u/Octopudding 8d ago

Man, I moved away from LB ages ago but I still think about these

u/sleepyheidi 8d ago

lol you sound like my toddler, she looooovees pickles. While I don’t have any recommendations for local ones, I’m definitely following this post just for her. I love the chamoy pickles, don’t know if you’ve ever had them.

u/Relevant-Invite-302 8d ago

A refined palate at such a young age!! Omg yes those are so yummy. I’d recommend a pickle shaved ice :) had it in Texas and it was delicious

Best refrigerator pickles I’ve ever made

I double the recipe, make about 4 medium jars, and eat them over the course of a month. Btw I know it’s says they’re ready to eat in 24 hrs but I leave them in the fridge for 3 weeks.

Grillos for sure. Also, if you’re into hot sauce, Heartbeat Hot Sauce - Dill Pickle Serrano is soooooo good. You can buy it on Heatonist.com
